Maybe just maybe there are a few birkins that no one on the short list wants. What would you think would happen? They start calling folks to see if anyone is interested. My guess is a lot of folks would jump at it even if it was not a color they wanted or leather, etc. and I'd also venture to say some end up in the reseller market faster than you can food shop.

I'll also wager my whatever precious thang I own that there are folks who are offered b's and k's and there is no limit, time frame, nada. Just saying.

I don't give a heap o'bunny pellets. Ever since I got my SO, my one and only evah, that seems to have abated my desire these last few months. Maybe therein lies the secret to calming the seemingly internal flame called desire.

Agreed! Ever since I have obtained my dear darling Miss B, I don't get a rats rear end about bags anymore! No more thinking about birkins, kellys, chanels, celines, etc. I just don't care! I love miss B.

I'm not too sure about your first question but for your second, in my past experience they will hold for about 2 months, maybe 3 if you are sure to be back in that time.

last year, my store didn't count my s.o. against the limit. this year, my s.a. said if ever he is not allowed to ring up my order because of the limit, he would hold it until the restriction is lifted. and he's waited a month for me to return from vacation. i'm not sure if that's H policy or merely a courtesy but if it's the latter, given that you were asked to place a special order, i assume your relationship with your sales associate is such that they would do the same thing. but why not ask your sales associate or store director so you can be sure?

I asked the same thing and was told they will hold the bag until your six month window is up. I personally find it hard to believe they would hold up a big ticket sale that long but this is Hermes we're talking about and stranger things have happened.

Additionally I was advised not to buy a birkin or kelly when I know there is an impending special order coming in. Just in case.

Oy! So I got to talk to my SA today and she said there is no limit. Which is great news :p but I guess just another example of H stores can make whatever rules they want for whomever they want.

well my local store is a franchise. And the SA told me one time that being a VVIP doesn't necessarily mean someone who spends alot in the store.(ME)
It basically mean who you are in the society?? What is your job? Do you have a big jobs like (minister or CEO) or a relative there!! Who You are? From which family?
She told me they receive a call to treat a certain customer as a VVVIP even if they never came or spent a dollar there. Unfortunately maybe that applies only for being in the third world ( the middle east) . I was stunned by her saying that to me. Such a depression. I'm a loyal customer since their opening in 2008 and that doesn't count.
Also she mentioned that a lot of the former SA were terminated for taking bribes from customers to give them what they want. Its true and obvious not only in my store. It really depends on the SM and SAs you are dealing with. I know that happens cause one of my friends bribed a SA in London Bond street store to have a birkin that were sent for another customer. And believe it or not she gave her the bag in one day without waiting like most of us. Personally I'd rather buy from a reseller rather than giving a bribe. For me Its illegal and sort of a crime. The SAs are really ruining the companys reputation. They really need to know what kind of people they need to hire.

I really need to know this!
Are they counting based on the calender semester or after your last purchase??
Cause they are not honest about this. Never tells the truth.
I don't know whats wrong with my local store? Always complaining about them.

One time a new SA who were working in Dubai mall boutique mentioned that during Kim Kardashian visit to Dubai she came with her mum kris Jenner and asked directley:
Do you have any birkins or kellys ?
And they said to her: You need to be in the wish list to get one. So she left empty handed.
In less than 24 hours they got a call from the management team to close the boutique especially for her to prevent the fans from coming inside and disturbing them. And they offered her around 5 birkins and she left with 2 as she said. One for her and one for her mum.
How easy her life is? I'm jealous..:smile1:

I just heard that kelly porchette and kelly cut would be counted towards the Birkin and Kelly quota, which means if you take a kelly porchette you can't take kelly/birkin for that season....:sad:
 
#223
What is the quota like? Like 5 or 50...? I just bought a Kelly cut from my SA. I was hoping to get birkin soon and was hopeful until when I found this thread... I told my SA about my interest in birkin while getting the Kelly cut and she sounded optimistic...

Take everything said about finding a Birkin, Kelly etc etc on this entire forum with a grain of salt. You will drive yourself bonkers if you dont.
Everyones experiences are different....:peace:
